1 run to go......i'm getting nervous

A walk in the park Dc

However I notice that the interest in Demonland threads has dropped quite a bit in the last couple of weeks.

by the way what happened to Dr. Who?

vanished!

So some good things have happened this year.

On a different note, Jack Fitzpatrick has been getting better each week and is now kicking a few goals each game. He is moving well and starting to really look much more confident in his game. He has also filled out considerably and with a good pre season, I believe we will have another big strong versatile player. Much like Martin he can play ruck or key forward and he has pace as well. With Gawn they look like our future big man department and not to forget we have a another huge player at full forward in Clark.

Well that is what our draft picks and our trades will be all about, except maybe for an Under 17 pick who may be a big key forward.

Is Cook now Gawn Redleg?

If you cannot make the Casey firsts the future looks fairly bleak IMO

I think we will keep him for one more year in hope, as it would be too much of an embarrassment to admit we stuffed up with pick 12 . There are enough others who have had a chance and been found wanting who will go first. If he gets another year he will have to show something or he will be gone. It has been suggested to me that we might delist and rookie him. No danger of anyone else grabbing him.

I know there are probably other examples but it beggars belief that a no. 12 draft pick could be considered for delisting after never playing a senior game

and finishing there second year in the reserves.

I smell an epic failure here

Think I have given up DC at this point the only way for me is a good final series with Casey.

However to do that you need to be in the senior side which he is struggling to do.

Perhaps we are playing him at the wrong end of the ground!

Could be worse, we could be playing him in the wrong sport.

Oh my God I had not thought of that.

Could we get a trade from Basketball for him?

Our favourite Melbourne supporter sinks the boot in again. OTC monday he said "I guarantee Melbourne won't win a flag by 2030". If only we had more like him. It's like having a skunk for a pet.

I doubt it is that good Redleg

having said that I think the chance is not before 2020

PS For me it has gone beyond winning a flag

With 18 teams and the two new ones getting plenty of assistance for the next 20 years it will get very difficult to make a GF let alone win one

I doubt it will happen in my life time.

I will be happy if the MFC can improve to the point we are a powerful team that wins 2/3 of our games.

That will make me a happy man.

OD-"epic fail" is a young persons phrase.

The standards of language are truly eroding when a man of your vintage begins to use such expressions.

Dead right Biffen

In spite of my best efforts i have slipped into the 21st century there.

I will try harder in the future

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
